(-18 to 38 Deg C; 0 to 100 Deg F) Vapors

and/or aerosols which may be formed at
elevated temperatures may be irritating to
eyes and respiratory tract.
If swallowed: Minimal toxicity.
Other information: Product not classified as hazardous by
UNO.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor

NEVER induce swallowing in an unconscious person.
Skin contact : Wash skin with soap and water.
For hot product, immediately immerse in
or flush the affected area with large
amounts of cold water to dissipate heat.
Cover with clean cotton sheeting or gauze
and get prompt medical attention.
No attempt should be made to remove
material from skin or to remove
contaminated clothing, as the damaged
flesh can be easily torn.
In case of exposure by inhalation: In case of adverse exposure to vapors
and/or aerosols formed at elevated
temperatures, immediately remove
the affected victim from exposure.
Administer artificial respiration if
breathing is stopped. Keep at rest.
Call for prompt medical attention.
In case of splashes or contact with eyes: This product is an inert solid. If in eye,
remove as one would any foreign object.
Rinse with plenty of running water. Obtain
medical attention if symptoms occur.
In case of swallowing: There is no known acute effect after over-
Note of physician: exposure to this product.
If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only
if the person is conscious). Obtain medical
attention if symptoms occur.
Do not induce vomiting.

Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray to cool fire exposed

Special exposure hazards arising from the
substance or preparation itself, combustion
products, resulting gases:
Special protective equipment for fire
fighting :
surfaces, protect personnel, and
extinguish the fire. For small fire, use
dry chemical or CO2. For large fire,
Use dry chemical powder or alcohol-
resistant foam.
In case of fire, may produce hazardous
decomposition products such as carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, (dense) black
smoke, aldehydes, and Organic acids.
Respiratory and eye protection
required for fire fighting personnel.

Other information: Solid material, may burn at or above the

flashpoint, and airborne dust may explode if
ignited. If thermally decomposed,
flammable/toxic gases may be released.
Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
Static Discharge, material can accumulate
static charges
which can cause an incendiary electrical
discharge

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions: Avoid creating dusty conditions and

prevent wind dispersal. Use suitable
protective equipment .Keep away from
sources of ignition. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating,
lighting and material handling) equipment.
Environmental precautions: No special measures required.
Methods for cleaning up and disposal: Small spill and leak - Vacuum or sweep up
material and place in a designated lapelled
waste container. Clean up affected area
with a large amount of water.
Large spill and leak - Use explosion-proof
electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment.
Other information: Consult an expert on disposal of recovered
material and ensure conformity to local
disposal regulations. Recover the spilled
material and place in suitable containers
for recycle or disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

The regulations relating to storage premises apply to workshop where the product is handled
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Local
exhaust ventilation should be provided.
Avoid creating dusty conditions and
prevent wind dispersal. Use explosion-proof
electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment. Take measures
against static discharge. Keep away from
sources of ignition.
Storage: Store in a fireproof location. Keep away
from incompatible materials and avoid
specific conditions. Containers should be
grounded. Take precautionary measures
against electrostatic discharges. Do not
stack more than 2 pallets high in
connection with risk of falling over. Do not
stack pallets with grades containing slip or
Anti-Block (AB) additives. Protect from
(sun) light. Keep in a dry place.
Unsuitable : mild steel
Suitable : stainless steel / Aluminum /
polyethylene

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure limit values: 5 mg/m3 (respirable dust), and 10 mg/m3

(total inhalable dust) based on the OSHA
PEL for nuisance dust. The recommended
permissible exposure levels indicated above
reflect the levels revised by OSHA in 1989 or
in subsequent regulatory activity. NPC
recommends that the lower exposure levels
be observed as reasonable worker
protection.
Exposure controls: Local exhaust ventilation of process
equipment may be needed to control
particulate exposures to below the
recommended exposure limit.
Personal protective equipment: For open systems at ambient temperature (-
18 to 38 degrees C) where contact is likely,
wear safety glasses with side shields. Where
contact may occur with hot material, wear
thermal resistant gloves, arm protection, and 7
a face shield.

Conditions to avoid: Temperatures over 650 F (343 C) will lead to

resin degradation and decomposition. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame and
exposure to (sun) light. Prevent formation of
dust clouds. Take measures against static
discharge.

environmental conditions, a variety of
decomposition products may be formed,
such as low molecular weight hydrocarbons
and hydrocarbon oxidation products (acids,
ketons, and aldehydes). Also thermal
decomposition under condition of limited
oxygen supply will give rise to carbon
monoxide.
